solipsistic NATION No. 267: Feedback Loop Label
Back in the day, if I heard and album I dug and wanted to find out what music label had released it I simply had to look at the CD or cassette or even an album cover. These days, despite the amazing advances in technology, it’s not so easy. If I’m walking down the streets of San Diego, as I often do, listening to music on my iPhone and hear a track that I like I can... Read More

I’m quite certain that the cold I’m suffering from is not, in fact, a cold. It’s something far more sinister and deadly.
